Taiping Mountain.

Doge's Palace.

Jian Baoning was dressed in uniform, neatly dressed, standing on the carpet, and was reporting the situation on the front line to the governor in front: "Sir, according to the latest news from the front, the crowd of the Central rally has dispersed, and the number of people at the scene has dropped to two or three hundred. ”

"There are more than a dozen small gatherings in all districts of Hong Kong, but none of them have more than 50 people, and most of the urban order has been restored, and the remaining troublemakers will definitely be dispersed tomorrow morning."

"According to preliminary statistics, 123 police officers were injured and 27 police officers died, resulting in more than 500 injured citizens, missing and more than 40 dead."

Ge Hongliang looked at the acting director in front of him, his expression unchanged, and listened quietly.

Due to the fact that this incident involved the two major police forces, the number of police injuries was extremely large, especially the number of deaths, which was less than 1 to 2 among the citizens, which shows the fierceness of the struggle within the police force!

"Good!"

Ge Hongliang looked at the winner in front of him, nodded and said: "Tomorrow, I will announce the lifting of the special state order, and in the next six months, you will manage the police force as the acting commissioner, if there is no large-scale gathering, at the end of the year, I will officially appoint you as the commissioner of police." ”

"Serve the Hong Kong government!"

Jian Baoning stepped hard, raised his head and chest, and saluted and shouted.

Ge Hongliang glanced at him meaningfully, and had to pinch his nose to admit his position, fortunately, delegating the power of the police force and allowing more and more Chinese to participate in politics was originally Ge Hongliang's governing policy.

As the first governor to use the Chinese and make the initiative of "Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong", Ge Hongliang has an extremely long-term vision, knowing that in the future, the Chinese will inevitably become the mainstream force of Hong Kong Island society.

Although the military faction seems to be pro-China, he believes that if the military faction is allowed to contain the Chinese in turn, the military faction will carry out to the end. Using the Chinese, it is not necessarily to be a Chinese little brother, regardless of whether he is comforting himself or not, Ge Hongliang can only hope so!

"Tonight, I also have a meeting with the heads of the Department of Health, the Fire Department, and the Department of Commerce, counting the damage to shops, cleaning up the streets, cleaning up the mess, and someone has to do everything." At this time, Ge Hongliang said: "You go back to rest first, and call me if you have something." ”

“yes，sir！”

“goodbye，sir！” Jian Baoning saluted again and shouted continuously.

After the special order was lifted, Ge Hongliang had to write a letter and publish a newspaper to state the current situation to all sectors of society, and there were indeed many things in one thing, and he even had to come forward to coordinate the cemetery and insurance.

"Ding, ding, ding."

When Jian Baoning walked to the door, the governor was on the table, the phone rang, Ge Hongliang picked up the phone, sighed slightly after listening, put down the phone and said: "Jian sir!" ”

Jian Baoning immediately turned around.

Ge Hongliang said: "Mai Sir was misfired with a gun in the prison cell, unfortunately died, according to the police commissioner's specifications to hold a funeral, welfare money." ”

Jian Baoning's heart moved slightly, guessing the cause and effect, took off his police hat, held it in his hand, and bowed deeply: "Yes, sir!" ”

Ge Hongliang completely acquiesced in the fact that Jian Baoning was manipulating the matter behind the scenes, and it was obvious that he would cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and not give his political opponents any chance to rise in the future. In fact, many politicians' modest intentions can lead to death in the future. Because some people fall for a while, they are not considered to fall, as long as they do not fall, they will have a chance to make a comeback.

The governor is extremely capable and has an extremely long term of office, so it is clear that he will not be easily transferred, so Mai Jingtao will not die, and if the time comes, the chances of reactivating it are not small. It was a matter of course for Jian Baoning to get rid of Mai Jingtao, and Ge Hongliang could only acquiesce. And Jian Baoning did hint that He Sir wanted to solve Mai Jingtao, but he didn't expect that He Sir's speed was so fast that he couldn't wait for a night!

Night.

At eleven o'clock, in Central Square, more than 20 brothers from the community gathered under the flag platform.

The number gang named "Skinny Monkey" Ma Tsai, with two broken wine bottles tied to his waist, is holding his limbs, constantly exerting force, and climbing the flagpole inch by inch.

Located next to the seafront and not far from Admiralty, the Central Plaza has always represented the image of Hong Kong Island before the completion of the Golden Bauhinia Plaza. The Governor of Hong Kong delivered a speech here when he took office, the garrison was paraded here during the liberation of Hong Kong Island, and the Queen's birthday was celebrated here.

"Hurry up!"

"Hurry up!"

The brothers of the club gathered around the flag, nervous and excited, shouting excitedly.

A middle-aged man in a suit shouted loudly: "Thin monkey boy, burn one flag to make straw shoes, burn two flags to make white paper fans, if all three flags are burned, I will make a red stick!" ”

On the flagstand, there are three flagpoles, which are hung with the British Royal Flag, the Hong Kong Island City Flag, and the British Rice Flag.

Among them, the royal flag is in the middle, the rice flag is on the left, and the city flag is on the right.

The evening breeze is gentle, and the sea breeze is biting.

The thin monkey is short and capable, the palms of the hands are cold and red, but the body is still full of energy, and when the hands are frozen and numb, they hang on the pole to rest for a while, and then climb up after resting enough, and climb for more than ten minutes before they come to the head of the royal flag.

I saw that the thin monkey took out the beer bottle on his waist under the attention of everyone, poured alcohol on the flag, poured a can on the flag in the middle, and then poured the remaining can of alcohol evenly on the two flags.

Then he took out a box of matches and kept wiping them until he wiped three of them, and then he wiped one and lit it on the flag!

"Boom!"

The golden royal banner suddenly gasped for flames, and the flames rose rapidly in the gale, sweeping the front flags, and the remaining two flags did not need to be ignited at all, and were immediately ignited by the flames in the middle.

More than 20 members of the society looked at the three flags that were burning, speechless for a moment, and their eyes flashed.

The thin monkey quietly slid down, hugged the flagpole, took out a cigarette, lit a cigarette with the flag flame, and held it in his mouth, with a satisfied smile on his face. While smoking, use your hands and feet together and slowly slide down the railing.

The uniforms on duty around saw the flags lit, looked at each other, and hurried to the scene.

When Ge Zhixiong saw the police coming, he scattered with his brothers, for fear of being caught and beaten by He Sir, so he didn't forget to shout to the flagpole before leaving: "Tie you to make a red stick, pierce you to make a red stick."

When the three uniforms rushed to the flagpole, the figure had already run away, but there was a horse boy hanging above the flagpole, which made people cry and laugh. In the end, the police officers let the thin monkey come down, and after the thin monkey landed, he obediently stretched out his hands and said proudly: "Sir, arrest me!" ”

A sheriff looked at the flags that had turned into ashes and were blown into the sea, took out a cigarette, and said, "The next time I burn the flag, can you change it to when I rest, I don't want to see you either." ”

The thin monkey took the cigarette, but he didn't have time to light it, so he was stunned and ran away.

"Definitely!"

"Next time, sir!"

The uniformed sergeant looked at his distant figure and scolded with a smile: "What a street boy, others plant flags, you burn flags, mix with the community, and mix a little bit of fun!" ”

A young police officer sighed: "Decrepit boy, this matter is not decaying!" ”

With the burning of three flags and the end of a vicious political fight, the Central incident will become a symbolic turning point for the Chinese to come to power, representing the beginning of the Chinese people's direct control of the armed forces in Hong Kong.

With force.

Everything is naturally easy to do.

The next morning, the Governor of Hong Kong opened a copy of "Sin Chew Daily" and looked at the Nanyang News in the newspaper, and was terrified for a while, and even secretly lucked: "Last night, there was another serious riot in Nanyang, and the Chinese Labor Front organized a self-defense armed force, and there was a 13-hour exchange of fire with the police on the street. ”

Although there was no further in-depth report in the newspaper, he dared to conclude that the Nanyang side still did not extinguish the action of the Chinese Labor Front, and the Chinese Labor Front has intensified and upgraded its armed forces after the last mass incident!

"The Central rally on Hong Kong Island chose to start yesterday, under the headline of mourning the Chinese in Nanyang, and it is clear that there is some synergy between the two."

"Fortunately, the police force stopped the spread of the incident in time, otherwise the situation would have developed in an unpredictable direction once the news of the Nanyang Chinese spread to Hong Kong Island." Governor Ge Hongliang knew that Mai Jingtao's judgment had fallen into a complete error, but fortunately he made a decision to let Jian Baoning take the throne.

Not to mention what Ge Hongliang, Jian Baoning and others thought when they saw the news, He Dingxian came to the office, opened the specially subscribed "Sin Chew Daily", and saw the crossfire information about the Labor Front above, which only felt reasonable and unexpected.

The Labour Front had never told him that they would organize armed men last night, but considering the painful experience of the Labour Front last time, it was normal for this operation to be armed. If you lose, you have to win it back.

The large number of weapons purchased by the Chinese in Nanyang are not hoarded, but they will really be fought and consumed. At the same time that he wanted to use the Chinese Labor Front to create momentum on Hong Kong Island, the Chinese Labor Front was also making a fuss about the Hong Kong Island incident, and the two sides were mutually beneficial, and the only bad thing was that the Labor Front did not inform him. But thinking of the importance of armed action, it is normal not to inform him, and if it is not confidential, it cannot be done, and the lives of so many brothers are at stake, secrecy always comes first.

In short, it is a good thing to be a good thing for the Chinese.

He Dingxian can only be glad that the ghost guy on Hong Kong Island is not as strong as Nanyang, otherwise, the same trick may not work if he changes to Nanyang. When you go to Nanyang, you still have to familiarize yourself with "On Protracted War" and memorize the "16-character formula for guerrilla warfare."

Compared with the turmoil in the South Seas, the tens of millions of economic losses on Hong Kong Island are not worth mentioning. However, both the Governor of Hong Kong and the Governor of Nanyang would report the incident to the ancestral family, and when the Cabinet received the two reports, they verified each other and came to a surprising conclusion.

If both places are defended, both places must be lost, and only when one place is abandoned can one place be saved!

These two incidents were merged into one file in the ancestral cabinet, which became an important issue at the moment, and even several ministers and the prime minister held consecutive meetings, and finally everyone reached an agreement to defend Hong Kong Island!

He Dingxian had no idea that his all-out efforts had begun to promote the course of history and become one of the many reasons for history. Although it is far from the level of changing history, it can be regarded as a glorious stroke.
